The '''Cloaking Burrow-nit''' ({{j|ハオリムシ|Haori Mushi|{{w|Haori}} Insect}}) is an insect-like [[enemy]] found in {{p2}}. Cloaking Burrow-nits have dark blue shells with large, red {{w|eyespot (mimicry)|eyespots}}. When they hunt, they choose a place where they rest face-down in the ground, patiently waiting for prey to draw near. If one is approached, it emerges and attempts to follow and attack the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] until they escape out of its pursuit range, when it then promptly returns to the spot where it was resting and re-burrows its head to wait for its next opportunity to chase prey. They have sharp proboscises which can be thrust into prey, piercing victims and causing damage, right before sucking them up and swallowing them.

Burrow-nits, primarily the one in [[Wistful Wild]], will deconstruct nearby bridges, similar to [[Mandiblard|Sheargrubs]]. This creature isn't seen too often, and is not very dangerous, as it only can kill one Pikmin at a time when it attacks. The Burrow-nit's replacements, the [[Joustmite]] and the [[Flighty Joustmite]], appear in {{p3}} and {{p4}} with a different look and a proboscis at the front of their shell rather than in their vulnerable back, but nevertheless with the familiar proboscis and eye-markings.

[[Swarm]]ing it is a suitable method, and 25 Pikmin are enough. Aim for the face mostly, but even if Pikmin are told to attack the hard shell, they usually revert to the face eventually. Purple Pikmin can also be thrown at its back or face, with a chance to stun it. Even if it does stab a Pikmin, it is slow in ingesting it, so if you can kill it before it's done with its meal, the Pikmin will survive.

 

Alternatively, if you are concerned about losing any Pikmin, use both [[leader]]s, and repeatedly [[punch]] the creature's face while making sure not to be hit with the proboscis. It may attempt to shake off the leaders, but this action can be foreseen and avoided easily.

==Other information==

 

|common    = Cloaking Burrow-nit. It is called such because its hide resembles a {{w|cloak}}, and because it burrows under the ground; "nit" is a name given to {{w|head louse}}, a real-life insect.

|scientific = ''Trilobitins reclusiva''. The ''reclusiva'' in its name is similar to "reclusive", given its solitary nature and tendency to burrow underground.

==In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==

A Cloaking Burrow-nit can be seen in the background of the [[Distant Planet]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', but other than that, it has no trophy or other mention in either game. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'s'' rendition of the stage, four additional Cloaking Burrow-nits appear alongside it.
